Hi John -

Tomorrow, international oil giant Total Energies is expected to announce
they have the green light to build what would be the world's biggest,
heated oil pipeline in East Africa.

Despite committed and courageous opposition from the communities in
Tanzania and Uganda who will be most affected by the project, it looks
like Total will have the go-ahead to endanger water resources for
millions, devastate vulnerable ecosystems, and push the world further into
climate chaos.^1

This is really bad news,
John, but Total can’t build it if
they can’t pay for it. Right now, they’re still short by at least $2.5
billion, which is why our pressure now is absolutely critical.

Eleven major banks have said no to this destructive, climate-wrecking
project but American banks Citi and JPMorgan Chase are still potentially
funding the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

they don’t finance this deadly project by joining our Twitterstorm?

action from the Stop EACOP coalition.

Momentum is building against Total’s pipeline all over the world. Just a
few weeks ago activists from Uganda, Tanzania, Germany, Poland, the
Netherlands, Australia, and France took to the streets in Grenoble, France
to make it clear that EACOP breaches the Paris Climate Agreement and
endangers communities.

Over a million people have raised their voices against EACOP and it’s
working. Because of the pressure from our movement, eleven banks have
refused to support the pipeline so far.

But there are eight other banks that are considering it, including big
American banks Citi and JPMorgan Chase. [ [link removed] ]If you can, take a minute to
Tweet these banks now.

In the coming months, along with the Stop EACOP coalition and campaigners
from 350 Africa, we will do all we can – standing in solidarity with those
on the frontlines of this campaign in Uganda and Tanzania – to ensure that
this climate-wrecking pipeline does not see the light of day.

In solidarity,
